What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
How our corporate hog roast works in Box Hill
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. Typical bookings include thank-you lunches and client hospitality, serving salads, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
For farms and rural sites near Box Hill, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why choose a hog roast in Box Hill?
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and normally better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose

- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
FAQs for Box Hill
How far is Box Hill from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Brockham Limeworks?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you set up in our car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact on site
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
